ID this? Tentacles appearing on Xenia

[Sonam]

Hi all,

We've had this Xenia since it was a tiny frag. It's gotten pretty bushy, but today for the first time we noticed some tentacles coming from it that don't look like Xenia at all. A little worried it's some kind of anemone buried in the Xenia?

Or are these some kind of defensive tentacles because of the proximity to ricordia?

The Xenia has been in the system for months. This is the first time we have seen this.

Should we worry?

Looks like aptasia

Looks like an aiptasia to me.

That is indeed what I feared. Ok. Thanks
